This is the every day Vegan/Vegetarian place to go to

The set menu del dia is vegetarian (and upon request vegan). It is tasty and healthy, 3course and very good value for money .
The staff is super friendly

Happy Cow didn’t allow me to give it five star, because they serve upon request (in the weekend only) also meat. But for me it is a five star restaurant

Pros: Good vegetarian food, Value for money, Friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere

Cons: Nothing

Fantastic healthy food

Cute little spot with friendly staff (no English spoken). Lunch was a menu of the day with a lovely vegetable soup, tofu with salad and rice, then some sort of fruit jelly/sauce thing for dessert. All really nice, delivered quickly. Cost just 25000 COP. Also recommend their veg quinoa empanadas.

Very nice place

We had dinner here - in the evening they habe a set menu. Ours with a nice soup, a main and a little dessert. Homemade tasty food. The meal is vegetarian, ours was even vegan. They add chicken on weekends but makes easily a vegan option on demand. #Veganuary

Super cute place, delicious menú del dia

We loved it here. They made the menú del dia vegan for us by substituting one thing for a vegan empanada. Really nice vibe in here!

Adaptable Vegan Option

Good location in the Candelaria area. The chef was very friendly. Great service. Had vegan option available (tofu “empanada”). Excellent dessert included. We left there quite satisfied.

Perfects for vegans and vegetarians

Excellent small and beautiful vegetarian restaurant in Candelaria. The staff is super nice. I didn't check the menu, I just chose the menu of the day, menu del dia, which was vegetable soup (tasty) and lentil balls with potatoes, peanut sauce and avocado salad. Very affordable prices. Great, I'll be back

Pros: Excellent Food, Cheap Prices, Nice Staff

Cons: Close at 6:30pm

Delicious! But more of a $$ price!

18.000 COP. Seriously delicious and complete tipical colombian lunch, but compared to other colombian veggie places (usually about 8.000COP) they are a little bit more expensive. They definetely deserve this but so the pricerating should say $$, just to prevent false (cheap) expectations😄

Pros: Delicious!

Cons: $$ price

Delicious !

We had a set menu for lunch which was absolutely delicious and complete.
Best pure vegetarian option in Bogota in my mind. Very cozy eatery.

This is a pure vegetarian restaurant, no meat on the menu or in sight, despite what HappyCow lists because of a 2013 review. This also means that the maximum score the resturant can get is 4 stars, but in reality this is a 5 star restaurant.

Corriente

Fui al lugar al ver muchas buenas reseñas, el lugar es bonito y la comida es un plato corriente de porciones muy pequeñas y un altísimo precio. $17000 COP no lo valen si la comida es normal y poca, una mala inversión.

a beautiful little spot

I just came back from a very delicious, very filling first meal in Colombia. Soup, salad, fresh juice, curry, and an incredible tofu and quinoa mix stuffed in dough. They had no problem making it totally vegan, and were attentive and kind. It was a little pricey (17,000), but worth it for the amount and quality. Would have given it a five star if I could. I saw no meat on the menu, so I’m not sure why it says they serve meat.

Pros: muy rico

Nice and cheap

Ate here with two vegetarians and one vegan. Got soup, a large main dish (lasagna for the vegetarians and some sort of vegetable stew with salad for the vegan) and a juice, altogether for 16000 pesos (about 5 euro). Tasted good.

Pros: Very cozy place , Large plates, Very cheap

Cons: Almost no options (can be an advantage)

Good for vegetarians

While it seems to be completely vegetarian, when we asked for vegan food there was still a piece of cheese in the soup. The vegan plate was much smaller than the vegetarian plate, and sort of disappointing. Also no prices on anything, and the meal was almost twice the price (16000 colombian pesos) of other veg places nearby.

Cons: expensive small portion

Lovely

This place is an oasis on a street of touristy restaurants. It is run by two ladies who offer a delicious three-course set meal with fruit juice. The food was delicious and the service attentive, and I liked the quiet laid-back atmosphere. I am told that they offer ajiaco, a Colombian chicken soup on the weekends, but when I was there it was totally vegetarian. Readers should realize that this site disallows 5-star ratings for restaurants who ever serve meat at all. So that weekend ajiaco cost Q&A that the 5th star.

Pros: Well prepared food, Attentive service, Quiet, friendly atmosphere

Cons: Little choice

Best in Bogotá

This place is lovely. Once I got the set lunch meal which they were able to make vegan for me and consisted of juice, soup, a few different rice/quinoa/veg dishes and an amazing dessert which seemed to be some kind of peach purée. It's a little more expensive than most at COP $16 000 but I felt it was worth it as all the food was delicious and high quality. For a more budget-friendly option, another time I got 3 BIG vegan vegetable-filled empanadas to take away for COP $7500. The setting is cosy, there's free wifi and it's well-located in La Candelaria. Overall highly recommended!
